Hi, I just joined and am a 16 years old Junior in highschool. I am posting to get some clarification and see if my situation is not only unique to me. So ever since 5th grade I have been getting "visions of the future" that come true. So a typical vision goes like this, I dream it but cannot specifically recall the dream after I wake up. Then anywhere from a week to almost a year later the vision comes true. They all have been meaningless situations and just casual interactions/conversions. The situation comes along and I know exactly what is going to happen before it does. I know exactly what am I going to do/say and the same with whoever I am conversing with. It is like I am being taken over and I can't stop myself from doing what I envisioned. I know its going to happen and it does. The "situations" are never any long than lets say 30 seconds at the longest. Most are about 15 seconds or less. They have been becoming less strong and vivid as I have been getting older. When I was younger the sense of the future was extremely strong and the sense of being taken over was extremely strong. The intensity and occurrence of these have diminished. They used to happen quite frequently and now only a few times a year. When they do I have a faint realization that they are happening but its clouded and harder to tell if I'm getting one and whats going to happen. I hope I got my point across and conveyed my experiences well. If anybody could shed some light on this that would be great.

How do you know it was a vision if you never remembered or wrote it down?

It could just be a strong case of 'Deja Vu'. I have had several of those and they still bewilder me. They could just be our sense of time and thoughts going out of whack for a few moments and the brain gets a 'cross connection' and we experience the present as if it was a memory.

THEN AGAIN....

I had some Deja Vu, and remember when I was about 19, I was in my kitchen and I swear I knew a kitchen knife was going to drop on the floor before it happened a moment before it did. I didn't see it fall, but I knew the sound it was going to make and heard the sound a moment later, and felt like I dreamed it before.

I remember when I was a child and in a light sleep, I saw a vision of a car and the door started to close and when it did, I heard it in real life and woke up. I looked out the window and my uncle/aunt/cousins had just arrived and I heard the real life sound which influenced my dream. I was only 8 or so, but I still questioned how it was possible to see the door starting to close in my dream before I heard the noise!

I've had Deja Vu, but these two times stood out to me, and puzzle me to this day. Even though it was only a one second or a half second prediction the fact that it happened at all amazes me and makes me think... were they different and what is Deja Vu anyway?
